TRANSPORTATION/PUBLIC WORKS--INDIAN SLUICE BRIDGE UPDATE
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The Department of Transportation and Public Works today announced
a posted weight limit for the Indian Sluice Bridge at Sluice
Point, Yarmouth Co., due to the nature of repair work to the
structure.
Effective immediately, a weight limit of 21 tonnes is posted on
the bridge. It will remain in effect until repairs to the bridge
are complete later this summer.
Repairs to the mainland end span are complete and work has begun
on the center span. It is expected that work will be complete by
mid-July and work on the island side will be finished by the end
of that month.
